That means that there won't be two levels of legal work to do in order to legalize gay marriage there (throwing out the amendment as unconstitutional, followed by passing a law to enact gay marriage)... there will be just one step to take, which should make the process go faster.
In fact, if the CA state Supreme Court gives the Constitution any thought during its current deliberations on the topic, that single step should be in place by midsummer.

That sounds like putting the cart before the horse...
If the Supreme would rule on it NOW, then there might not even be an iniative to present to the public in the first...
"
Let's see if the people want this, and if they do, THEN afterward we'll find out if it's legal or not."...
Sounds dumb to me...
